A curfew has been declared in southeastern Turkish province of Diyarbakir for security concerns, the Diyarbakir Governor's office said on Saturday.
The move came after the anti-terror operations of Turkish security forces against Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants, the statement said.
The curfew, which included nine neighborhoods of Lice town, started at 10:00 am local time (GMT 0700) on Saturday, according to the statement.
More than 450 members of Turkish security forces and thousands of PKK members have been killed in confrontations inside Turkey and in northern Iraq since last July.
More than 40,000 people were killed in clashes with the PKK since 1984, when the group started its first offensive.
The PKK is listed as terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union and Turkey.
